**I know that I packed a lot of clothes, but I don't like to wear the same thing. You will acquire a bunch of new clothes on your voyage, but if you want to save some money, pack some more. Also, bring a lot of cold clothes. You will be told this a lot: the ship is VERY COLD! Pack sweats and sweatshirts unless you plan on dumping a lot at the school store. The ocean breeze is cold, although you're in countries during their summers.

MISCELLANEOUS:
(1) sleeping bag --- to sleep on deck or in port
(1) umbrella
(1) backpacking backpack --- for overnights because you can't bring checked luggage
(1) Eyewitness Travel London Guide book
(1) waterproof wallet
(1) 15 pack black hair ties
(2) Clorox disinfectant wipes [9 each pack]
(1) pack playing cards
(1) beach towel
(1) Vera Bradley weekender tote --- I packed this bag for souvenir purposes
(1) GCU lion stuffed animal for pictures for Vicarious Voyage
(1) Germany at a Glance book
(5) plastic bags
(1) satchel
(1) small coinbag
(1) small coin purse
(1) knee brace
(1) ankle brace
(10) ziplock bags
(1) pair show back liners [to prevent blisters]
(1) small pillow

I packed all of this in two rolling duffles, one rolling carry on, and a laptop bag. Rolling your clothes helps a lot, so I highly suggest it. Also, try to put your liquids into baggies. I always do, and I am thankful I do. The pressure of the plane cabin sometimes has your liquids leak. For instance, one of my sprays leaked, but it was in a ziplock so nothing was damaged. In addition, you cannot have aerosol containers, so try to look for alternates when dealing with sunscreen, hairspray, and bug spray. Your bug spray is recommended to have 25-30% deet as well.

I would be happy to answer any questions regarding what to pack, what not to pack, etc!
